The track work in Ashland and Altoona was neat to watch, and so was the lightning in Wichita (but I'm afraid that if you stood in that rain and inhaled you'd drown lol). The helicopter was just plain cool--another great one!
Wow! Excellent catching all the trains in multiple locations, especially the Loram, railgrinder, in Galesburg, Illinois, Heritage Units, and so much more, I like them, they're awesome, @Virtual Railfan, thank you very much.
Nice Freight-car catches tonight, thanks VRF, F59PHI WCF 902 freight hauling was, different as well as the T'ropicana' Mechanical Reefers at Oklahoma. Good to see the Staff at Tucson, taking 5 and a bit of the Limelight. Chattanooga, loved seeing NS 6920 SD60E 'Honouring Our Veterans'. A nice simple livery - speaks volumes.

5:17 As a newb forklift driver I did that once to a boxcar. Tried to spear frozen pulp bales when it was -20°F at the papermill where I work and took a 70 foot running start. Wound up with the towmotor sitting outside on a pile of frozen pulp with the door jammed on the ROPS. Our riggers, welders and machinists had it fixed in a few hours and thanked me for the call time and time and a half. The guy breaking me in denied to management that he told me to do that. Anyway, no repercussions.
Some of us may not know what the Loram train is doing. Like me! I assume they are cleaning track but would like to know if that is really what they are doing.
Grinding the heads of the rails to that railroad's specs for curvature. Flanged railroad wheels are tapered, and supposed to ride on top of the rail, the flange is not supposed to regularly make contact with the side of the rail, just be there to prevent a derailment.
It's pretty sad when the scrap carrying cars look better than those old Tropicana cars. Note how the mechanical Refrigeration units are ripped out so these probably are insulated boxcars now at best. This firm did the same thing to some old ARMN cars
The railroad was the best customer agent orange manufacturer ever had. The only difference was the railroad didn't spray it on their employees and then make them wear the same clothes with no shower for a month at a time
Like that catch of the honoring veterans engine
Track maintenance machines are engineering marvels😊
Love the Leigh Valley heritage unit. Was the first I personally saw in person
Was quite surprised to see a WestCoast Express locomotive way down in Waycross Georgia! A long way from home here in Vancouver BC.

That lightning flash 10:16 pause that it is awesome! Looks kinda like an island in the sky
Another amazing Grab Bag video from Virtual Railfan!

Loram going back and forth on the crossing: "Why do I keep missing that spot?"
The CSX 9969 a 1 of a kind. love the look of the engine.
Love Ashland Thanks VRF ❤

The Weeds don’t Die by Accident. If you Spray it, it will Die. Thankfully they Shut Off near RX Crossing to Save your Vehicle Paint. 🤔👍

Great ending, a mystery helicopter.

Never disappoints with all the cool 😎 power and consist!🛤🚂
How often do those Loram machines have to change their grinding wheels
Where WCE902 going? It's pretty far from home.

@@paulw.woodring7304 Thank you.
I noticed I was not on a grab-bag video I was on the skykomish virtual railfan camera on June 1 around 410pm
21:41 Amazon driver is doing a 'last mile' delivery. Hey, I ordered the fancy gift wrap!
It's time to ride the rails on VR Grab Bag with all of the great trains
around the country as always thank you.🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🇺🇲🇨🇦

What model engine was the Atlantic Railway? It looked like an SD of some kind
Is the BNSF leasing the MRL 70ACes or do they own them outright?
Lease then?
Hi
Haven't seen Camera Cleaning Guy at Chehalis in awhile...
Hi Virtual Railfan & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Virtual Railfan & Friends Randy
Randy, shut it. we all see ur comments. they are not going to respond to you. and you need to download grammarly
@itspaxtonplayzyt Geez, maybe lighten up a bit!?!
@@itspaxtonplayzyt Why don't you shut it? From the looks of it, you could use Grammarly also!
@@itspaxtonplayzyt thanks for your comment, we all were waiting anxiously for your input.
